I wanted to use the Warks exam as practice too! Oh well........ I don't think anyone will do them any earlier.

Tutor centres rubbing their hands with glee!! More fear factors playing on the more and more with anxious parents! Beware

Let's hope it's the Birmingham test, at least we have some context about that one.KenR wrote:I wonder if this will be the same test in B/Ham and Warks to save money on Durham compiling 2 tests
On a different note warks 11+ admissions could not confirm/deny if warks and bgham tests will be on the same date. Watch this space!!!

Just noticed the foundation website seems out-of-date as it is still saying exams are in November:

The main grammar school admissions page is completely up to date though:

It's going to take more than a month to get results by the looks of it .

Grammar test results are not an offer of a place and, will probably be only a guidance in respect of whether to name Grammar schools on the selection form. The reality is longer waiting time for school offer and less preparation time. Agree that a bit of pressure on kids will do them good
Re: Early date for B'ham GS exams 2012
Agreed, the results are not an offer of place but must inform if your child has been successful and based on the score the KEGS schools you can put down on the LEA form.
Surely, without this information you will have to put all the KEGS schools on the LEA form.

Has anyone heard anything about Warks and Walsall's arrangements?
